Looks like he got a ton of hype after his pro day the other day; hitting 7 balls over 114 mph and a 119. Currently ranked as the ~141st prospect in the 2026 MLB draft.

What’re the chances that he’ll make it to campus?

Every single baseball podcast I’ve listened to and article I’ve read said you can go ahead and count on him NOT getting to campus.

Low before he went to combine. 0.01% following his batting performance.

Would have to fell pretty far from his projection to have any type of chance. Just as a reference, the 141st pick slot value is around 520k.

Slim chances he makes it to campus, but one thing I think people forget about is that there will almost certainly be an MLB player lockout next season. Not sure how much that will factor with current HS players, but could be part of the decision.

520k is not worth skipping college for. He’d probably make close to that per season at LSU

He's ranked around the same place that Landon Hodge was in the same BA ranking last year (the second to last update). Landon Hodge got $1.1MM.

You can't just equate ordinal ranking with slot value.

that’s a lot of money, but the average age of an MLB is 25.

Is that a lot of money for the next 5-7 years?
